Can't believe "(Florida) hippopotamus" was wrong

I watched that three times. It was amazing.

Fun fact, since we're in the J! thread. Hippos kill more humans on avg each year than sharks do.

I sometimes idly think about what my anecdote(s) would be if I was ever on Jeopardy and I don't think I've ever done anything or had anything happen in my life that doesn't make me sound like an absolutely gigantic dweeb

This actually made me think of how some anecdotes seem really forced "I'm cool for x reason" and it doesn't land well (for me, at least). Like I would take (talking out my rear end) "a cool fact about ____ topic I like" over "I have visted 90% of the countries around the world" or "after I was on J! an old lady made a fan club about me." I feel like to get on the show you have to know a ton of facts as a prerequisite, so sharing a fun rare fact can be cool. It's not "you" per se but it's "you" in that it characterizes what you like as an individual person rather than dick-measuring anecdotes about whatever.

Plus, if you get Ken he's pretty witty and will try to smooth things out.

(also, I don't know what the instructions are while you're on but this is how I am or am not entertained by people's anecdotes)
